Storm Ciara causes fixtures pile-up

GAA chiefs face a fixtures’ backlog after Storm Ciara forced the postponement of a number of games in the Allianz Football League.

A waterlogged pitch in O’Moore Park forced officials to call off the Division Two clash of Mike Qurike’s Laois and Cavan while the Division Three tie between Louth and Offaly, which was to be played in Drogheda also fell victim to the world.
